Step 6 - Willingness

Willingness - Choosing to abandon defects of character. After identifying shortcomings and admitting to them by working Step 4 and 5, the next step forces members of 12-step recovery groups to ask themselves if they are really willing to give up some of those faults. After all, some of them have been around so long, they are like old friends. They have been comfortable.

But if the previous steps have been done thoroughly and honestly, many times facing the truth can bring a measure of guilt, which is a great motivation to become "entirely ready" to have those shortcomings removed. As with all the steps, the ability to become ready comes from a higher power.

Step 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Each Stepping Stone has the principle of the step on one side and the recovery symbol of the circle-triangle on the other
